Chapter 72: The Seven Days of Annihilation (Part 1)
After a short break, Qiao Wan put down the jug of wine and finally gathered the courage to ask about the Nourishing Bead.
Jia Yin took a sip of wine and glanced at her, saying, "I promised to give you a chance to discuss the purpose of the Nourishing Bead."
If it wasn't for Lu Wan saving Xiu Quan, they wouldn't be sitting here, enjoying this drink.
Qiao Wan pondered for a moment and shared her thoughts, "The Demon Emperor is unaware. The Nourishing Bead was originally brought as a dowry for Mrs. Cen of the Cen family, but the Cen family secretly gave it to the Lin family."
"Mrs. Cen is a skilled healer who uses a wonderful technique called the 'Silk Suspended Needle' to save many lives."
"But in the conflicts between the Lin family and the Cen family in recent years, the technique was damaged beyond repair. She can no longer use the needle." Qiao Wan said calmly, "I think we should take the Nourishing Bead to Mrs. Cen. With its nourishing properties, maybe she can use her needle to heal Xiu Quan's wounds."
Jia Yin didn't answer immediately. He whispered to Xiu Quan, asking for his opinion, "What do you think?"
The young man also put down the wine jar and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, my wounds are not serious."
"After all, the Nourishing Bead is a gift from Mrs. Cen... It would be better to listen to Miss Lu and return the Nourishing Bead to Mrs. Cen, and then ask her for help in treating the illness."
"My injuries are not life-threatening, and the Nourishing Bead is so precious. It would be a waste if I just swallowed it like that. It doesn't sit well with my conscience," Xiu Quan said with a bitter smile, "It would be better to go to the Cen family and give it a try."
His injuries were quite scary and horrifying to look at.
But Xiu Quan considered himself to be quite tough, and these injuries, with a bit of endurance and biting his teeth, would pass.
Jia Yin stood up and brushed his sleeves, saying, "Lu Wan , I entrust Xiu Quan to you. Take him back to the Cen family."
"Where are you going?"
The man's voice was deep, with a hint of sarcasm, "To kill. There are still Xiluo's spies left in Qizawa Province."
Naturally, they must be completely eradicated.
Outside the wine shop, the rain gradually subsided.
The cold wind and bitter rain swept into the man's cuff.
"After finishing this task, I will come find you at the Cen family."
With a cold remark, the man disappeared from under the eaves in an instant, leaving behind a pale red water stain.
Qiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other two people in the tavern.
"I will take you to the Cen family."
By this time, Cen Qingyou , Pei Chunzheng , and their group should have returned to the mansion.
The incident of the demon clan seizing power was purely accidental, causing her to be away for too long. Thinking of the young man with the skin at the alley entrance, Qiao Wan felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
What did he mean by asking her to pass a message to Mrs. Cen?
Could there be any actions from the Lin family in these few days?
The rain was still falling lightly.
Not long after the intense battle stopped, Qiao Wan , Xiao Boyang , and Xiu Quan hurried towards the Cen family. Along the way, their spiritual power was almost depleted.
Fortunately, the tavern was not far from the Cen family.
However, as they approached the street where the Cen family was located, Qiao Wan sensed that something was off.
Through the wet rain curtain, a strong scent of magic, blood, and burning could be smelled.
The dog brothers, with their sensitive noses, knew immediately that something was wrong when they caught whiff of this odor.
The three of them exchanged a glance and saw a message in each other's eyes.
Uh-oh.
Qiao Wan pushed Xiu Quan into Xiao Boyang's arms and pulled out two iron hammers from her pocket, heading towards the direction of the Cen Mansion.
The main gate was tightly closed and couldn't be pushed open.
They moved to the side gate, which was unexpectedly open.
As soon as they stepped through the side gate, they saw a lifeless body lying motionless on the ground.
Before they had time to react, a dark figure suddenly pounced out with a "swish"!
Qiao Wan quickly turned around and kicked, while also swinging the iron hammers in her hands.
The dark figure was equally fast, dodging the hammers and changing direction, only to fly towards them again. Its beak, stained with blood, pierced through the rain curtain, revealing two rows of sharp iron teeth.
After a few moves in the fight, Qiao Wan took a step back and threw a thunderball, followed by a sweeping motion with the two iron hammers!
Bang!
A bright white light flashed and a shapeless bird monster fell from the sky!
With one strike, the monster shattered into pieces. From its stomach rolled out a pile of undigested limbs and the head of a man with a blank stare.
The head rolled all the way to Xiao Boyang's feet. He gasped and his face changed colors, almost vomiting.
After one or two seconds,
Xiu Quan, who was being held in someone's arms, finally asked the question that had been lingering in the minds of the three of them since earlier.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
This bird monster, and this monstrous energy...
Qiao Wan's thoughts shifted and she couldn't help but curse under her breath, "Damn!"
Lin Qingzhi, the Lin family from Qizawa Province, and a rebel tribe under Xiluo's command.
The three factions intertwined delicately together.
Why did Jia Yin receive news of the Nourishing Bead? And why did Xiluo and his men appear there?
As soon as the rebel tribe arrived, Lin Wu and his followers fled in a hurry.
These were clearly calculated!
Mrs. Cen!
Qiao Wan felt a sudden tightness in her heart. She tightly gripped the hammer and hurried towards Cold Mountain Yard!
That Lin guy's motherf***ing piece of s***!
What a load of nonsense!
"Qiao Wan!"
Seeing Qiao Wan's face change dramatically, Xiao Boyang grabbed Xiu Quan and quickly followed her into the Cen residence.
As they raced along, the hellish scene gradually unfolded before their eyes.
Xiao Boyang held onto Xiu Quan tightly, feeling a few turns in his stomach.
The road was filled with corpses, lying in all directions.
Some torn apart, others with severed heads, and some with exposed organs.
Stepping on the soft, bloody flesh, Xiao Boyang's face turned slightly pale.
In just a short time away from home, when they returned, the entire Cen residence had changed drastically!
This was definitely not something a person could do. From the side gate to this path, it was like a massive hunting ground.
With just a quick glance, you could see a monster holding onto a person's torso and gnawing on it. The organs fell to the ground with a loud splash.
"These are all low-level monsters that haven't gained consciousness yet," Xiu Quan said, catching his breath with a serious expression.
As a monster himself, he was very familiar with these creatures.
The rebel monsters, along with the Lin family, had swept through a place, and these low-level monsters without consciousness were sent to clean up the area.
One was responsible for attacking, while the other was responsible for eating.
"It seems like the spiritual veins of the Cen family have been damaged. At a time when the spiritual energy is abundant in the surroundings, the more they eat, the faster they grow, and it becomes easier for them to transform," Xiu Quan explained.
As the monster continued to gnaw, perhaps it caught sight of three pieces of well-developed flesh. It let go of what it was eating and pounced towards them.
Even if Qiao Wan smashed their skulls with an iron hammer, new ones kept coming.
Qiao Wan shook off the splattered blood from her body, her expression grim.
Looking towards the backyard, you could see the floating spiritual energy formations. From the direction, it seemed to be coming from Shichun Hall.
Even though the front yard has been breached, the spell in the backyard is still intact, so it should be safe for now.
Qiao Wan, feeling relieved, couldn't help but worry about the sinister tricks of that "mommy's darling" man. Without stopping, she hurried towards Cold Mountain Yard.
The front yard no longer had many living people; most of the dead were ordinary servants with no cultivation.
As the three of them rushed towards the backyard, Xiu Quan's face turned serious as his ears twitched.
"Someone is crying."
The young man raised his nose slightly. "To the south, there are people crying, probably more than ten."
"The smell of blood is too strong. I can't smell anything else."
Qiao Wan and Xiao Boyang also saw the scattered corpses on the ground just now.
At this point, are there still survivors?
"Yes," the young man said, "More than ten."
*
The defensive formation at Snow Wave Garden was on the verge of collapsing.
The dark clouds were densely gathered, looming above, as if they would collapse in the next second.
The wind kept bringing the smell of blood and screams, the screams came one after another, slowly fading away.
Everything was silent again.
Only the sound of raindrops falling gently remained.
Sometimes you couldn't even tell if it was rain or blood falling on your head.
It felt wet and sticky, landing on your face, mixing with tears that couldn't be wiped away.
The low growls of the creatures outside the wall, sometimes louder, sometimes softer, felt like the footsteps of death.
At first, they hoped that someone would come to rescue them, but now they had become numb.
All of them, over ten people, were just ordinary servants, the most skilled of whom had only just learned to control their breath.
They couldn't break out, they couldn't hold on, no one cared about them anymore. The creatures outside the wall eagerly stared at the living beings inside Snow Wave Garden with their greedy eyes.
Sooner or later, they would become food for those creatures outside.
"I... I don't want to die," a young maid couldn't hold back and cried out in despair, tears and mucus flowing uncontrollably. "My... my parents are getting old, if I'm gone, who will take care of them?"
Gui Qi glanced at her and numbly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, tremblingly handing it to the maid.
She recognized this young maid, called Fang Fei. Earlier, when Fang Fei had a conflict with Lu Wan, Gui Qi had joined in to scold Lu Wan.
She heard that Lu Wan had gone early in the morning with the Second Young Master.
Gui Qi looked up at the blood-red sky, feeling a bit conflicted.
She was envious, envious of her fortunate fate.
Since her fate was good, she shouldn't come back, at least not at this time.
After all, nobody truly wanted to die.
Realizing that if they continued like this, they would eventually meet their end in this mansion, someone finally couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward!
Gui Qi looked up for a moment.
A white-haired old steward named Hu Yucheng called on everyone to unite and resist. He was known to have been stuck at the foundation building stage in his cultivation, and often reminisced about his youth, but not many people paid attention to him. However, things were different now.
Hu Yucheng was the only one among them capable of killing these monsters. Everyone looked at him with hope in their eyes.
In the face of the monsters' attack, more than ten mortal servants from Snow Wave Garden decided to give it one last try.
Hu Yucheng clenched his teeth, his kind face contorted. "Are we just going to wait here and die with no way out? If there's no way, then let's fight our way out!"
As they saw one of the maids about to be dragged away by a monster, the old man with white hair rushed forward and shouted, "Save her!"
"Save her first!"
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do. He was old and didn't have much strength left.
Hu Yucheng, his face turning red, and seeing the old man and the maids being dragged away by the monster, finally a servant stepped forward and rushed towards them.
One after another, more than ten servants from Snow Wave Garden all stepped forward, full of energy and determination, and managed to drag the maids back from the clutches of the monster, their faces red and necks swollen.
They saved someone, and everyone present felt a surge of confidence.
Isn't this also saving someone?
If no one saves them, they will save themselves, gather together, and surely find a way to survive!
*
Qiao Wan suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and changed directions. "I'm going to save them."
Xiao Boyang exclaimed, "Qiao Wan!"
Qiao Wan replied, "You go to Cold Mountain Yard, remember Cold Mountain Yard? Go find Mrs. Cen, I'm worried about her."
"The evil spirit in Snow Wave Garden is overwhelming, and you're going alone? Are you crazy?!"
"What else then?" Qiao Wan asked fiercely. "Would you go instead?!"
"I have a hammer, and you have a sword. With so many monsters, do you plan to poke each one with your sword?!"
What she said does make some sense. She has a hammer, which has a wide range of attack and can quickly clear the area.
But they are just servants...
They are everywhere in his house, just ordinary people who he can order around.
Xiao Boyang had a somewhat indifferent look on his baby face as he stated a cruel fact: "Every day, ordinary people die in this world, and you can't save them all."
Why bother going through all this trouble and getting yourself into trouble?
From the moment she entered, something felt off. She felt a burning fire in her heart, a fire that will not rest until it burns everything in front of her, until it incinerates all the corpses, darkness, and blood. She won't stop until everything is destroyed!
Qiao Wan took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the hammer, and steadied her emotions. "In your eyes, they are ordinary people, but in the eyes of the heavens, we are all just ordinary people, without any distinction of high or low status."
"Go to Cold Mountain Yard and find Mrs. Cen, hurry."
She was different from Xiao Boyang - she was just an ordinary person, born as an ordinary person, and destined to be an ordinary person.
Ordinary people can only do so much and can't save everyone, but as long as they're in front of her and she has the ability, she can't just stand by.
"I'll go save them and come back immediately."
"It's best if the lady is alright, you stay here and guard."
"If... " Qiao Wan paused, "if something happens at Cold Mountain Yard, that sneaky person who likes to use human skin, you stop him for me."
"He's not that powerful, you can handle him."
Given the current situation, this decision was the best solution.
Both she and Xiao Boyang had fought against that person who used human skin before.
That person's abilities weren't that great, considering that the Painting Skin Skill was known as the top forbidden technique of the Lin family in the southwest. Lin Qingzhi probably only learned the basics of the skill, and it's unclear if he even reached the intermediate level of the Painting Skin Skill.
"If you really can't handle him, at least stop him until I come back."
Xiao Boyang was stunned.
Qiao Wan left Kunshan a few months ago, but the girl in front of him now seems completely different.
She has become more determined and fierce.
The Qiao Wan he remembered was a bit tasteless and expressionless, but she was still an ethereal girl who didn't talk much.
The firelight reflected in the girl's dark eyes.
Now, Xiao Boyang finally realizes the difference between him and Qiao Wan from before.
The girl is colder and more ruthless than before.
"Don't tell me you're scared."
Xiu Quan suddenly spoke up, "Miss Lu, you go, I'll stay here."
"I may be badly injured, but I'm not completely useless."
Although he is just a dog, he has been with Jia Yin for hundreds of years, so his abilities are much higher than these younger ones.
Qiao Wan nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
Xiao Boyang silently watched the girl carrying a hammer, quickly disappearing from his sight.
Mrs. Cen.
Qiao Wan pursed her lips and felt uneasy in her heart, even though she could see that the formation in the backyard was safe.
She waited.
*
She couldn't hold on any longer.
In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer.
They managed to kill two or three monsters together, but the formation couldn't hold on.
The protective shield around Snow Wave Garden began to distort, and gradually, a woman's head squeezed its way in.
The woman had a beautiful face and closed eyes, resembling a kind and serene statue of Guanyin.
But when she opened her mouth, a long tongue, two or three feet in length, suddenly shot out from her small cherry-like mouth.
Then, she opened her eyes with a creepy and sinister smile.
Manager Hu glanced at the creepy smile in despair, roaring with heart-wrenching anger, "They're here!! Run!"
With that shout, chaos erupted!!
Within Snow Wave Garden, it quickly transformed into a hellish scene!!
Run!!
Hu Yucheng was the closest, but at this moment, it was too late for him to escape.
When he began his journey as a cultivator, it was solely with courage and righteousness.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side and he never had the chance to do anything heroic in his entire life. He wasted his life and only reached the stage of cultivating Qi, ending up as a servant.
Luckily, in his old age, he finally got to show a little of his own strength.
He killed three monsters! Three of them!
He even saved a young maid! At least he didn't live in vain!
Looking at that creepy smile, Hu Yucheng closed his eyes in sorrow.
In his next life, he would cultivate immortality.
Before dying, he hoped to accumulate good karma so that he could have better talents in the next life.
The woman's face was firmly blocked at the entrance of the garden.
In an instant, all possible escape routes were shattered, turning into despair!
Someone fell to the ground, their face covered in tears and mucus, their expression twisted in fear, crying in pain with their head in their hands.
Is there anyone who can save them in the end?!
Is this not a life for them?!
No one wants to die, even if life in the cultivation world is cheap, no one wants to die! Everyone wants to live!
For a moment, cries of sadness and screams filled the air.
The fire burned even brighter, twisting and running figures crying out in pain, like faint ghostly shadows.
But right at that moment, a dazzling golden light flashed, forcefully splitting through the raging flames and dispelling the ghostly shadows!
Amidst the chaos and cries, Hu Yucheng and Gui Qi stood frozen in shock.
The golden light was not hot, and its glow was not too strong. It flickered and rolled like a golden snake, shattering the darkness and blood.
The pain on their bodies seemed to vanish, and their fear and despair faded away, leaving only the golden light in their eyes.
Noticing the commotion, the people fleeing in Snow Wave Garden unconsciously stopped in their tracks, staring blankly towards the source of the light.
With an unmatched force, the golden light swept away the demonic aura, cleaving through the blood, death, and cries, breaking the boundary between life and death.
The witch's eyes snapped open, shining with intensity, but before she could react, her head was violently shattered by the golden light!
The red and white splashed, falling with a loud noise.
At that moment, the restless and anxious monsters smelled the scent of their own kind and rushed forward!
Suddenly, from the roaring flames, a slender figure leaped out.
The girl was covered in bones, holding two blood-stained hammers, moving up and down in mid-air.
The golden glow came from those two hammers she held.
The hammers' powerful wind swept through, bringing life to where they passed.
She kicked away the monster in front of her, and with a "crack," she snapped the neck of another bird-like monster. Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Wan expressionlessly looked over and said firmly, "Let's go."
"Xin... Xin Yi ..."
Gui Qi and a few maidens supported each other, their eyes widened, unable to say a word.
This... this is Xin Yi ...
Who could have imagined that Xin Yi would be the one to come and save them?! Who could have imagined that this girl with half of her face covered in armor, covered in blood, with a fierce look in her eyes, would be Xin Yi, the girl who used to be silent, the girl who "caused trouble with the young master", the "strong as a bull" girl?!
Is this really Xin Yi?!
Qiao Wan reached out and quickly pulled Hu Yucheng with her, throwing him out of Snow Wave Garden.
One.
Qiao Wan said, "Run quickly, go through the side door."
"Don't look back."
The rebels from the demon realm and the elite fighters from the Lin family are attacking Shichun Hall.
Qiao Wan had cleared this path from the side door to Snow Wave Garden before, it's the safest way to go.
Gui Qi looked at Xin Yi in shock, her face covered in blood, "Xin Yi?!"
Qiao Wan didn't say a word, she picked up the round-faced maid and threw her out as well.
Two.
After all, she was the only one and couldn't handle so many monsters. Even if she managed to create a little bit of hope with her iron hammer, there were still frightened maids and servants running around everywhere, outside of her reach.
With a glance, Qiao Wan hurried forward, creating a gust of wind, and managed to rescue one from the monster's mouth.
The maid she held shivered uncontrollably, her face filled with fear. As soon as Qiao Wan caught her, she burst into tears, "Xin Yi...?"
Qiao Wan glanced at her and vaguely remembered that this little maid seemed to be called Fangfei. She had previously stood bravely with Gui Qi, fighting against their enemies together.
"What's the point of dreaming of marrying the young master? Does it really lead to becoming an immortal?"
"A restless little troublemaker."
Those words from the past echoed clearly in her ears as Fangfei's face burned with anger, looking at the young girl in front of her. This girl, who had always flirted with the young master, now had bloodied armor and a stern expression.
"This could be a restless little troublemaker, for sure!"
"Xin... Xin Yi..."
Looking at the stern girl in front of her, smelling the strong scent of blood from her, Qiao Wan's throat felt a bit dry, but she still wanted to say something.
But Qiao Wan didn't give her the chance.
She swiftly threw Feng Fei out of Snow Wave Garden.
Three of them.
Sending away more than ten mortal servants from Snow Wave Garden all at once, Qiao Wan turned around and almost got caught in a strange mess.
With the current situation, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
Qiao Wan pursed her lips.
She could only hope that nothing went wrong at Cold Mountain Yard or that Xiao Boyang could be of some help.
Unable to escape, Qiao Wan took a deep breath, slammed the gate shut, trapping herself and the monsters inside.
Now--
Qiao Wan's face expressionless, swinging her iron hammer while charging forward.
It's time to clear the area!
*
The scent of blood in Cold Mountain Yard became a bit stronger.
Lin Qingzhi was handsome and had the same charm as Lin Li when he was young. His skin was fair, and there was a hint of femininity in his eyebrows and eyes. He looked resentful and venomous.
He lowered his head and peeled patiently and meticulously. As he peeled, he didn't forget to talk to Mrs. Cen. So far, he had only peeled half of his finger.
Since he could remember, he knew that his mother didn't like that awful Jiang Rou. If it wasn't for that awful person getting in the way of his mother and Mr. Cen, his mother wouldn't have ended up as a concubine.
And him... that old man from the Cen family who died a long time ago, didn't even think highly of him! No matter what he did, in the eyes of the old man, he wasn't as good as Cen Qingjia, Cen Qingyou, or that awful Jiang Rou who gave birth to two useless children!
Why? Just because he and his mother were from the Southwest Lin Family? Just because her mother's cultivation technique was seen as evil in their eyes?
His mother had always said that there was no distinction between good and evil in martial arts. In this world, it's either kill or be killed. As long as the martial arts are useful, that's all that matters. If someone looks down on you, just kill them. They deserve it!
Why do they look down on him?!
Jiang Rou, that hypocritical woman, and her two so-called good sons, what do they have that compares to him?
For a long time, Lin Qingzhi thought this way and he still believed it now.
When he lived in the southwest, he had this thought. One day, he would personally kill that despicable Jiang Rou, for his mother, for himself, and settle all scores.
Because of this, Lin Qingzhi thought about it every day, tossing and turning in his thoughts. Whenever he thought about it, his heart would become excited and his blood would boil.
Although he had imagined many scenarios, none of them were like the present moment.
Mrs. Cen was sweating profusely but she kept her eyes down and didn't utter a word.
Those eyes remained bright and clear.
Suddenly, Lin Qingzhi remembered the look in her eyes when she used to hold him as a child, so gentle and peaceful.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Lin Qingzhi sneered. "Don't worry, I won't let you die so soon."
However, the woman glanced at him and then looked away.
Lin Qingzhi angrily clenched his hand around the bloody and mangled finger.
Mrs. Cen trembled violently but remained silent.
In order to practice the Painting Skin Skill, he had peeled the skin of many people and witnessed their faces twisted with despair and horror. But none of them were as calm as she is now.
In those eyes, there was no fear of death, only attachment to life.
Unconsciously, Lin Qingzhi stopped his actions. "Do you want to die?"
This time, Mrs. Cen finally looked at him straight in the eyes.
Mrs. Cen, from the Cen family, had saved countless lives, yet deep down, she wanted to die.
Xiao Boyang is still running frantically.
He's scared.
He's genuinely scared.
Xiao, the young master of the Xiao family, has always been well-fed and well-cared for. Even when he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, he hardly encountered any danger. He stayed peacefully in the inner sect, occasionally going on adventures with his elder martial sisters and brothers.
His shameless older brother, Xiao Boyu, once mocked him as a useless person who couldn't even climb a wall made of mud. Although he acted arrogantly, he was actually just a paper tiger, easily torn apart.
But in the Mudstone Secret Realm, something scared him. And now, he is scared too.
Xiao Boyang was never afraid of anything, except for ghosts and other strange things.
How could he not be afraid of a strange and creepy technique like that skin-changing one?!
Can he really shoulder this responsibility?
Xiao Boyang gritted his teeth.
There was no answer. The young man hugged Xiu Quan tightly and continued towards the direction of Cold Mountain Yard.
In the Xiao family, he was never expected to bear such burdens.
Now the responsibility has fallen on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe. Xiao Boyang, with clenched lips, could only hope that nothing went wrong over at Cold Mountain Yard.
But as soon as he stepped through the gate of Cold Mountain Yard, Xiao Boyang's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "This is not good!"
Xiu Quan said with a serious tone, "Put me down."
Xiao Boyang whispered, "If I let you down, what will you do if you get caught?"
The young man forced a bitter smile, saying, "At least I am a guard by the Emperor's side, not as weak as you think."
Once he recovered from his injuries, he was stronger than Xiao Boyang and Lu Wan.
When Xiao Boyang rushed into the house and raised his eyes, he came face to face with the gloomy and bloodthirsty gaze of the young man. There was also a woman lying on the ground and Mu Fang, who was crying profusely.
Xiao Boyang silently cursed in his heart.
He jumped back to avoid the person rushing towards him.
Even if he was terrified of this strange thing, he had to gather his courage and fight back, using the "Golden Dragon Break" technique.
They didn't say much after that.
Xiu Quan leaped forward and quickly transformed into a large yellow dog. He grabbed the woman's sleeve with his mouth and pulled her out.
In her intense pain, Mrs. Cen could vaguely see a huge yellow dog with a droopy tail and a skinny body. Although it looked sad and pitiful, its dog eyes were serious and solemn.
After dragging this person, Xiu Quan turned to drag another person.
Without needing to maintain a human form, it was easier for him to act.
While Xiao Boyang and Lin Qingzhi were busy fighting, the yellow dog quickly went to check on the woman on the ground.
When their eyes met, the dog's dark and shiny eyes hesitated for a moment.
Those eyes were bright and gentle, even in pain, they shone like flames.
He felt a sudden warmth in his heart, as if something had touched him unexpectedly.
At that moment, there was a loud sound coming from the direction of Snow Wave Garden.
Even in the midst of their battle, Xiao Boyang and Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but glance over.
Hearing this sound, Xiao Boyang's heart was about to burst: Qiao Wan?!
In Snow Wave Garden, Qiao Wan took a deep breath.
She had been running frantically, and her spiritual power was almost depleted. She had no more spiritual power left.
The iron hammer in her hand was also wet and sticky.
Taking a glance at the continuous stream of monsters, Qiao Wan closed her eyes and felt unexpectedly calm inside.
Perhaps it was because of the recent battle on the streets, where her physical body was struck by heavenly thunder. Despite her depleted spiritual power, every move she made was smooth and effortless.
Running out of spiritual power didn't matter, because the Cen family's spiritual vein had been broken, and the air was filled with abundant spiritual power.
Countless strands of spiritual power gathered in her dantian.
In the midst of these surrounding monsters, and with her meridians shattered, she managed to accomplish the impossible.
She broke through to the fourth level of qi cultivation.
